Approved at Interview - Pending for possible adjudication

[Etherial 277]

We had our interview on October 10th

The agent told us that everything looks in order, the process takes about 7 days, congratulations

They also kept my passport.

 

Today, 8 days later the status still remains ready. Hasn't changed to refused, denied, approved, issued or anything

I emailed the US embassy and they told me:

 

"Based on our records the case is pending for possible adjudication. Once we complete the process, you will be notified.

Please do not make any travel arrangements, until you have received your approved visa."

 

Is this a typical process, meaning the "official" approval hasn't gone through yet or is there any possibility our case will be refused?

Appreciate any responses.

Most times when the co approves the visa at the embassy, the supervisor has to give the final approval and also sometimes they are doing final checks, there is nothing to worry about and you just wait for confirmation of approval and passport in hand with visa on it before you make any travel plans, congratulations in advance.

Typical.  Closing out the file takes time.  They need to nake sure they dot the i's and cross the t's, create and assemble the distribution package, etc... 

 

Also, some consulates only print visas but one day each week.
